I find myself in need of a bit of walking-around money. May we talk about trades?

[ Locked to Erik, also open to Raven ]

You're not the Erik I know. I'm not the Charles you know. We can leave it at that.

My name is Charles Xavier. I am one of the awakened, from the ship. As far as I know, we are all from different times, and perhaps from different universes as well, and none of us knows how we came to be asleep on an unfamiliar spacecraft.

Has anyone a theory to present?

And one more thing. This may seem like an odd question, but... is there a large population center, nearby? I don't mean under the dome.

[ ooc note: Charles is talking about Israel's mind, which feels to him like a large population center even though it isn't. ]

Mr. Xavier. My name's Jim Kirk. And while I've traveled a good deal, I've never seen this place before. Given the theory that we're not from the same general place or time, dimensional travel is likely. Not knowing the mechanism of travel, however, I'm not sure where to begin.

[radars]

Nor am I. I'm afraid this is a bit outside my area of expertise.

[original_fine]

Which is? If I may ask.

[radars]

Genetics, as it happens. I attended Oxford.

[original_fine]

Ah. [Jim is simultaneously impressed and not sure that counts for much in a survival situation.] This must be a change for you.

[radars]

You might say I've lived an interesting life. I'm not... simply a professor.

[original_fine]

No one is. But what do you mean?

[radars]

I was in the war.

Ah -- the -- World War II.

[original_fine]

Oh. Oh. [That was, what? Over three hundred years ago for Jim. His surprise shows.] You've come a long way. Or I have.

[radars]

We both have, I believe.

[original_fine]

Most likely. As for a large population, I haven't seen anything to indicate one, aside from the dome.

[radars]

I admit I didn't really expect an answer there.

[original_fine]

I'm actually wondering why you think it's an odd question.
